RJD MLA indulges in vaccine politics
Vaccine politics reared its ugly head again as RJD MLA Bhai Virendra on Wednesday, said that he would get vaccinated after taking the opinion of 'specialists'. Lashing out at PM Modi, he said that they (RJD) do not copy anyone as the 'BJP was filled with bluffers'. Several politicians like Trinamool's Shantanu Sen, Congress' Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, SP chief Akhilesh Yadav had slammed the PM's inoculation, calling it poll tactics.
We will take the vaccine only after taking the opinion of specialist doctors and we won't do anything in haste. This party is full of bluffers and Jumlas." When informed that both PM and Bihar CM have been inoculated, he said, "PM daily wears suit worth Rs 50 lakh, so should we also wear them? We don't look and copy any actions. We do all work only after proper consultation. Whatever is the suspicion, you will know it," said Virendra.
In retaliation, BJP MLA Nitin Naveen said, "The party which does not trust its own people, trust has to be brought from inside. The Indian vaccine which has been demanded by 22-24 countries and has been recognized by UN, they are opposing. They are just Modi opposers, so they will oppose anything. It is unfortunate that they are misleading the people."

Nurses reveal conversation with PM
The two nurses who administered the COVID-19 vaccine to Prime Minister Narendra Modi at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi, spoke to Doordarshan - sharing their experiences.
Sister Niveda was quoted by DD News saying, "I was called here to vaccinate, and after arriving here in the hospital, I got know that I am going to vaccinate Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I felt good after meeting and speaking to him. Sir (PM Modi) has been vaccinated with Bharat Biotech's COVAXIN first dose. After the vaccination, he asked us how are we and where we come from, and right after receiving the dose, he said, 'Oh, it's already done? Didn't realize'. "
While speaking to the media, Sister Rosamma said, “It is very nice to see sir (PM Modi). Only today morning we came to know that the Prime Minister would be coming for vaccination. It was nice to see him, he was very comfortable."
Sources state that PM Modi travelled to AIIMS early morning to avoid inconvenience to daily commuters. Moreover, sources state that the Prime Minister lightened the mood of the vaccinators by asking if they were 'using thick needles traditionally used on animals on him'. When the staff looked confused, he commented that as politicians were 'thick-skinned', he thought he would be vaccinated with 'thick needles, breaking the ice and relaxing the staff.

Opposition politicises PM's jab
Congress
In PM's inoculation visuals, there was 'gamcha' (Assam), & nurses who vaccinated him were from Kerala & Puducherry. Coincidentally, there're elections in these states. It would've been 5 states had he also carried Rishi Aurobindo's photo & Geetanjali: Congress' Adhir Chowdhury
Trinamool
Politcising PM Modi getting his 1st vaccine dose, Trinamool MP Shantanu Sen on Monday, claimed that the PM's jab was 'publicity', adding that 'Photograph is more important than Protocol'. Commenting on PM Modi's changed appearance, he claimed that the PM's 'newly grown Rabindrik beard' would have become invisible if he had worn a mask. Adding 'God save India', the Trinamool MP added that Mamata Banerjee was 'saving Bengal'. Several other politicians like Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, Akhilesh Yadav have politicised vaccination as a BJP 'stunt'.
AIMIM
As per Germany govt, #Covishield isn't as effective for people aged 64 & above as it's for people aged b/w 18-64. Can Govt clarify the confusion? It's a coincidence that PM took Bharat Biotech's COVAXIN vaccine today. However, I urge all to get vaccinated: Asaduddin Owaisi, AIMIM
Congress
I am above 70 years of age. You should give it (#COVID19 vaccine) to youngsters who have a longevity in life as opposed to me. I merely have 10-15 more years to live: Mallikarjun Kharge, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha, when asked if he would take the vaccine jab

If someone dies 4 days or 10 days after inoculation, you can't link it to vaccination. Every death has been scientifically investigated. High powered experts committee evaluate it, no case has come yet that death is vaccine-induced: Union Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan
